If the show was doing great, Baldwin would have made an apology and that would have been that.

But the show wasn't doing great, so MSNBC appears to have effectively made it a we-cancelled-it-because-Baldwin-said-that to try to score a PR bump with the same-sex community. And it appears to have worked.

Baldwin got extra-mugged on this one, imho. Getting cancelled is bad enough, but getting pilloried by a community (and media-members) in the process is a little over-board.

Personally I could see a pilot emerge from all this, though: Baldwin as a straight guy running a gay night-club -- Buyers Club-in-a-night-club-and-nobody-needs-medicine. Probably find an audience on Netflix, Amazon, pay-cable

@aztecian You are the racist ass hole. When the mayor of New orleans at the time Ray Nagel made the statement after Katrina that new orleans would build back up and become Chocolate city again, a very racist comment, i did not hear a big up roar from the white community. But god forbid if a mayor from a majority white city said we will be vanilla city again, every race card ass hole from Al, Obama ,Oprah and OJ would open there big double standard racist mouths.
